Notes : Known Errors
Paper Flap :
The top right hand corner folded during the guillotine stage, leaving a paper flap with the sheet registration number.
Print Obstruction :
Simultan [colour] is missing on a rectangular area on the front of the note.
This was caused by an obstruction [probably a paper off-cut] in the colour printing stage.
Registration Shift :
There is a colour off-set on the front of the note.
It was caused by incorrect alignment of paper during colour printing stage.
Wet Ink Transfer :
Parts of the reverse design were found to be mirrored on the front of the note.
It was caused by the transfer of still wet ink from the previous sheet.
These notes command a premium when selling.
